Subject: Legends Of Fastball 2007, Woodstock , Ontario -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ALL ONTARIO FIELD FOR LEGENDS 2007, JUNE 1-3 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The host committee for the Legends of Fastball Classic are pleased to announce the final field is set for the first major fastball event of the summer in southern Ontario. For the first time the entire field will be home grown as all 8 entries this year hail from Ontario. Tournament Director Brian Paton is excited about bringing some of the best teams in the game into his hometown of Woodstock. " When you get down to the short stokes in any major fastball event there is always an Ontario team fighting it out for fastball supremacy", said Paton, himself a legend in Canadian and International fastball circles. " It is a testament to the endurance of the Ontario game when you see teams like Kitchener-Waterloo celebrating their 40th anniversary while so many teams have dropped by the way side in recent years." The Legends lineup for 2007 will include the Kitchener-Hallman Twins, Jarvis Merchants and the Orillia Riversharks. The Sharks are chomping to get into the pool and prove their # 1 ISC pre-season ranking is no fluke. The Twins and Merchants would love nothing better than to sink a hook into the "big fish" early in the season. The 2 time Canadian National Champion St. Thomas Evergreen Centennials will be bringing their revamped squad into Woodstock.The Centennials are always tough whether you meet them in early June or late August. You don't win a Canadian Championship without their kind of heart and talent. The ISC 2 has taken great strides in the past few years, giving the teams without the big budgets a chance to compete for a World Championship in their own right. The Elmira Cubs surprised everyone when they emerged as the King of the ISC 2 Hill in 2005. They are looking to step up in the ranks and will get that chance against the big boys in Woodstock. The Bridgeport Braves who hosted the ISC 2 in Kitchener last year and again this year will be out to show the loyal Woodstock fans that they mean to challenge for intermediate level supremacy in August. They are a veteran team with a lot of ex-Twins in their lineup who ousted Kitchener last year in the Legends Classic. The Innerkip Eagles are the host club again this year and are now the elder statesmen of the Ontario ISC Travel League. These country boys must be grain fed as they swing from the heels and aren't afraid to get dirt on their shirt. The Scarborough Royals round out the field at Legends. They bring with them 2 National Jr. Championship banners and a reputation of consistency over the past few years. They'll have their hands full with the rest of the field but never count out speed and youth when you go up against the big teams. Goliath is still tying to figure out how he was bested by a sling shot . Here is the lineup for the weekend , June 1-3 in Woodstock : FRI JUNE 1 7:00 p.m. Innerkip vs St.Thomas Dia. 1 8:00 p.m. Elmira vs Bridgeport Dia. 2 9:00 p.m. Kitchener vs Scarborough Dia. 1 SAT.
